Question

I\'m using the GAE testbed service and when I run users.get_current_user() I get None i.e.

>>> import sys
>>> sys

To simulate a sign in of an admin user, you can call anywhere in your test function:

self.testbed.setup_env(
    USER_EMAIL = 'test@example.com',
    USER_ID = '123',
    USER_IS_ADMIN = '1',
    overwrite = True)

Note that you need to use the overwrite=True parameter!
